Mike,
Thanks for your response. I tend to agree that "An error is an error."
I just wanted to check whether we really meant what is in
the spec, i.e. the clock times must increase monotonically
(and without repeated values) also during Ignore_Bits.
Thanks,
Arpad

Arpad-
I know of no valid reason for a model to violate this requirement, even when
there are extenuating circumstances or when the clock times aren't being used.
An error is an error.

Hello Everyone,
The specification says that the clock times returned by the
model must be monotonic (pg. 170):
Any non-strict-monotonic behavior of clock times (including two identical
values) should be considered by EDA tool as an algorithmic model failure.
I ran across a model which violates this requirement during
Ignore_Bits. The question is whether this is allowable or
not. The specification doesn't say anything about Ignore_Bits
in the discussion of clock_times.
Thanks,
Arpad
